18.03.20 WINCANTON SWIMMING CLUB NEWS UPDATE ON CORONAVIRUS
Wincanton Swimming Club is a very friendly, supportive club and our priority is to look after all of our members from youngest to oldest! These are difficult times and with the coronavirus pandemic we have to make some tough decisions.
Yesterday, Swim England ‘Strongly Advised’ all swimming clubs to suspend training sessions. In addition to this two out of three of our regular coaches fall into the ‘vulnerable category’.
It is with great reluctance therefore that the committee have decided to cancel club sessions until Sunday 19th April and Thursday 23rd April. This is when we would normally have resumed sessions following the Easter break.
This has not been an easy decision to make but the health and safety of our members is a priority.
At present LED have told us they are keeping the pool open but discouraging congregating in the foyer. This policy is also under constant review. The Swimming Club Committee will keep in constant contact and keep you informed of developments.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Stay safe and best wishes
